A Little Late, A Little Light
And I Thought that Exodus in the Bible Was Big
Yes, we are poor and dangerous, but does that mean everyone needs to haul ass out of here? A recent study reveals that Cuyahoga County has the 6th largest exodus of residents. Doesn’t sound too bad right? Well, let’s consider this, 4 of the top 5 counties were ravaged by hurricane Katrina, meaning that we are actually 2nd place to Detroit’s Wayne County. And if you are looking for some intelligent discourse on the matter look no further than Paul Oyaski, director of the Cuyahoga County Department of Development, who told the Plain Dealer, “Clearly the trend is not at all favorable or positive.” Someone give this guy a raise, the rest of you can who live elsewhere.
Where is the Extra Money from those Smokes Going?
Apparently nobody knows. The Free Times tracked down Cathy Boyle, the woman who will be in charge of distributing the new cigarette tax money for the arts. So far Kathy ain’t done shit except to look for an office, one that there is no money to pay for at the moment. The taxes went into effect in February, but there is still not even a board set up for Kathy to answer to. With goals like the, ”ability of the work to advance the region’s image as a producer and exporter of innovative artistic work,” and “ability of the project to positively impact Cuyahoga County’s economy,” it’s no wonder that Boyle is concerned about the work of the non-existent board., that seems to be how all cigarette related laws are around here.
Oh, Court System, You so Crazy!
Cynthia George, Ohio’s claim to fame back in 2005 for conspiring with a lover to have her husband killed, is one step closer to going free. The Appeals court denied prosecution’s attempts to keep George locked up which means the Ohio Supreme Court is their last option. Honestly, I think I’d rather just watch Law and Order than keep reading these articles.
